Rozee will take over from Tom Jonas, and will switch from his No.20 jersey to the No.1 jersey, as is Port Adelaide's captaincy tradition.<\/p>\n

\"Connor<\/p>\n

"To be captain of Port Adelaide, a club that is more than 150 years old, is a huge honour," he said.<\/p>\n

"It's so humbling to follow in the footsteps of club greats such as Russell Ebert, Gavin Wanganeen, Matthew Primus, Travis Boak, the list just goes on and on.<\/p>\n

"To wear the number one guernsey is something I'm incredibly proud of and I won't take for granted. I feel I'm ready to lead our group moving forward."\ufeff<\/p>\n

At just 23 years of age, Rozee will be one of the youngest captains in the AFL, but his coach Ken Hinkley has no doubts he can handle the responsibility.<\/p>\n

\"Connor<\/p>\n

"Connor is absolutely ready to captain this football club," he said.<\/p>\n

"He leads by example on game-day, he works his backside off at training and prepares week in and week out like an absolute professional.<\/p>\n

"Importantly, he demonstrates genuine care for his teammates and continually drives our culture internally.<\/p>\n

"Connor is a very mature 23-year old and is a credit to himself and his family as to how he continues to grow as an individual."\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
